The FIA Formula E series has confirmed its pre-season test will go ahead at Jarama amid tragic flooding near Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo Circuit.
Severe flooding in the Valencia region has tragically led to the loss of 150 lives, prompting Formula E to relocate its pre-season test to the Jarama circuit in Madrid next week. The decision not to proceed with the test in Valencia was made in light of the ongoing devastation caused by the floods and to avoid diverting resources from supporting the local community. Formula E expressed solidarity with those affected by the floods and emphasized the importance of practical support during this difficult time. The upcoming pre-season test will play a crucial role in preparing for Season 11 and includes testing new technologies and hosting the first-ever Women’s Test. While the move to Madrid presents logistical challenges, Formula E remains committed to ensuring a successful test while supporting Valencia in its recovery efforts.
